The Nervous System
PRE-LAB QUESTIONS
1.
a. The primary function of the nervous system is to control and communicate
information throughout the body.
2.
a. Folds allow for increased space for gray matter. This allows for more information
processing.
3.
a. This is an impulse that is transmitted from one cell to another cell to allow for
communication to occur.
4.
a. These are cells that enclose around and insulate the PNS fibers. This allows for
the PNS fibers to be insulated along with the myelin sheath, allowing for an
enhanced impulse transmission as well as protection of the axon.
5.
a. This is the threshold of response for each nerve cell/muscle fiber to a stimulus in
the body.
6.
a. Inhibition and excitation
